Important information.
The VIRGINIA SAFARI PARK, a 180-acre drive-through zoo located in Natural Bridge, VA, is NOT associated with the Natural Bridge Zoo, which is also located in Natural Bridge.
Unfortunately, with the recent legal issues and press coverage surrounding the Natural Bridge Zoo we have found it necessary to post this clarification. We have been contacted by many sources that have inadvertently confused the two zoos.
Our official website is www.virginiasafaripark.com. Please beware of copycat imitations. Again, the VIRGINIA SAFARI PARK is NOT associated with the Natural Bridge Zoo and never has been.
Thank you for your understanding.

Safari Drive-Thru
View wild animals from the comfort of your own vehicle in the most natural environment possible!
![animals safari park animals safari park](https://www.alabamasafaripark.com/resources/media/user/1614752073-feeding_3_flipped_desktop.jpg)
Take a drive on the wild side! In the safari, you'll be able to see animals roam naturally over 350 acres.
The animals are free to run, play, jump, frolic, and swim as they wish! Drive your vehicle over three miles of maintained gravel road and feed the animals through your windows! But don't be in a hurry. The animals often block your path...or lay flat-out in the sun...the choice is theirs! If you miss any animals or want to take a snack break, make another drive-through. You can Safari Again on the same day as your visit.
Not only are our animals free to roam, but they follow their instincts. You'll see the animals as you've never seen them before. You'll see males spar and challenge each other for the attention of the females. You may see mothers and babies. Sometimes visitors are lucky enough to observe a birth in progress and watch as the baby takes its first steps!
Animal Interaction Is the Focus
We encourage interaction by allowing visitors to feed the animals with our specialty grain mixture. Our staff is dedicated to helping guests appreciate our animals in the beautiful and natural setting of Alabama.
The experience of having a huge camel or deer only inches away, feeding from your bucket, is virtually impossible to describe. This unique animal encounter park appeals to all ages and is quickly becoming one of the region's top attractions.
Come see why people keep returning again and again – and bringing their friends!

10 cuter-than-cute animals from Primorsky Safari Park
![animals safari park What’s that you’ve brought me? A raccoon at Primorsky Safari Park in the village of Shkotovo.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/all/2017/02/10/tass_19897540.jpg)
What’s that you’ve brought me? A raccoon at Primorsky Safari Park in the village of Shkotovo.
For many years now, the most popular place for a family holiday in the Primorsky Territory has been the safari park near the village of Shkotovo (4,000 miles east of Moscow, 55 miles from Vladivostok). The famous nature reserve celebrated its tenth anniversary on Feb. 7.
![animals safari park They don't call me Pavarotti for nothing. A Far Eastern wildcat at Primorsky Safari Park / Yuri Smityuk/TASS](https://cdni.rbth.com/rbthmedia/images/all/2017/02/10/tass_19897808.jpg)
Primorsky Safari Park is an enclosure inside the Ussuri taiga forest. Visitors can observe the wild inhabitants without fences or screens in conditions as natural as can be. Injured animals are nursed back to health by staff. The park has a high turnover rate: once fully recuperated, animals are released back into the wild, and their place is taken by others.
![animals safari park Feeling tigerish? Timur the goat at Primorsky Safari Park / Yuri Smityuk/TASS](https://cdni.rbth.com/rbthmedia/images/all/2017/02/10/tass_19897793_b.jpg)
The park became famous for two local “residents”: Amur the tiger and Timur the goat. The story of their unusual friendship began in November 2015, when the cloven-hoofed one had a “dinner date” with the predator. However, Timur didn’t take kindly to being on the menu and managed to keep Amur at hoof’s length, after which they began spending time together. In late January 2016 the friends had a slight altercation, resulting in Timur being mauled for his shameless behavior. After rehabilitation, Timur was resettled. In March 2016 he received a mail-order bride all the way from Moscow — a nanny goat by the name of Merkel (no relation of the German chancellor, we presume). On January 25 Timur became the happy father of a kid, quite literally.

The young tigress Ussuri, born June 3, 2014, at the Moscow Zoo nursery, was brought to Primorsky Safari Park on October 17, 2015, as a partner for Amur. On September 18, 2016, she gave birth to a cub called Shere Khan.

The park is home to 15 species of birds of prey: hawks, owls, black kites, tawny owls, eagle owls, to name a few. A guided tour with a professional ornithologist gets you closer to the action. Some birds will even perch on your arm.

The safari park also houses foxes, badgers, minks, wolves and Amur leopards. The different species get along well.

The ungulates have an enclosed forest area of around five hectares all to themselves. Three parks in total: one winter, two summer. The animals move from park to park to give the plants time to grow. Five species of wild ungulates from the Primorsky Territory are free to roam this area, along with waterfowl and tame rabbits.

The park for ungulates now contains Manchurian wapiti, sika deer, roe deer and wild boars. The tame animals are quite happy to approach people. It’s even possible to hand-feed and stroke them, and have your picture taken together.

Dholes, or red wolves, are the rarest of animals. Once native to the Primorsky Territory, now they have all but disappeared. The last sighting of this rare species in the Primorsky Territory was back in 1973. In his Mowgli stories, Kipling described the dholes as an all-destroying, fearsome avalanche attacking the jungle. Dholes do indeed live in packs, but not as large as the fictional ones. Primorsky Safari Park currently counts three dholes in residence.

Along the perimeter of the leopard enclosure runs a six-meter high bridge offering views of leopards in their natural habitat — with no wire fencing in front of the eyes. It is currently home to one leopard, who will soon be joined by a female of the species.

See hundreds of exotic animals and have lunch or dinner at this new MS safari park
'it's really geared toward everybody because we have things for young kids and adults. so, there's something for everyone.'.
![animals safari park Portrait of Brian Broom](https://www.clarionledger.com/gcdn/-mm-/5e12aebe1f8867a4ec8e1b324a40a92f491f2220/c=114-30-819-735/local/-/media/2015/07/22/JacksonMS/JacksonMS/635731601202448112-Broom.jpg?width=48&height=48&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
Want to take a ride and see hundreds of exotic animals? How about hold a fennec fox or a lemur ? What about dine with a view of peacocks walking around and swans in a pond?
Well, you can do all those things and more at Little Creek Landing Safari Park .
The new park is located in West Hattiesburg and is home to hundreds of exotic animals. It's an experience geared toward all ages and it's the product of a lifelong love of animals.
Joy Thurman Wallace said the seed for the park was planted long ago. Her mother had a love of animals and shared it with Wallace's son, Chris Thurman, who started and owns the safari park.

A lifelong love of animals
"My mother had a love of animals," Wallace said. "As a little boy, they would buy and sell animals."
Wallace said her mother's and son's business of buying, selling and raising animals was known as The Critter Farm and it was the genesis of the safari park.
"Back then we did a little of everything," Thurman said. "We did more domestics than exotics — more farm animal stuff back then."

However, over time, Thurman's interests shifted.
"I always liked the unusual," Thurman said. "As I got older, I got into exotics."
Thurman's collection grew to over 300 animals, and the park offers the public an opportunity to experience them. Guests will see species such as zebras, camels, antelope, ostrich and kangaroos. There are also some very unusual animals. Thurman said guests can see a white bison, a blond water buffalo and a white emu.
He even has a few endangered species he raises at the park.
"It helps the species survive," Thurman said.

Take a tour and have lunch or dinner at his safari park
Guests can tour the park with a guide while they ride on a wagon called a "people mover" pulled by a tractor. The tour takes roughly 30 minutes and feed can be purchased to feed animals along the way. There is also a self-guided walking tour of the property.
There is also a petting area as well as special hands-on experiences where guests can hold, touch or feed animals such a fennec fox, a lemur, a macaw and lorikeets.
Guests with an appetite are welcome, too.
The park features a restaurant the serves a cafe-style lunch and fine dining dinners on Friday and Saturday nights. Restaurant guests on Friday and Saturday nights receive a discount on the admission price to the park area if they want to take a tour, too.
"It's really geared toward everybody because we have things for young kids and adults," Thurman said. "So, there's something for everyone."
